In addition, oxygen gas has to be purged in the reaction mixture in order to increase the reaction efficiency which, in itself, is an energy-consuming process. Herein, we report, for the first time, the use of Ag3PO4 as an excellent photocatalyst for the oxidative coupling of benzyl amines induced by ambient air in the absence of any external source of molecular oxygen at room temperature. The conversion efficiency for the selective oxidation of benzyl amine was found to be greater than 95% with a selectivity of &amp;gt;99% after 40 min of light irradiation indicating an exceptionally high conversion efficiency with a rate constant of 0.002 min(-1), a turnover frequency of 57 h(-1), and a quantum yield of 19%, considering all of the absorbed photons. Ag3PO4, however, is known for its poor photostability owing to a positive conduction band position and a favorable reduction potential to metallic silver. Therefore, we further employed a simple catalyst regeneration strategy and showed that the catalyst can be recycled with negligible loss of activity and selectivity.&lt;/p&gt;

Here we describe g-C(3)N(4)nanosheets exhibiting remarkably blue-shifted photoluminescence within the 390-580 nm range centred at 425 nm which matches more closely with its `quantum-dots', and yet is excitation-wavelength independent. Moreover, surprisingly, the luminescence decay becomes increasingly slow at higher emission wavelengths, by up to 10 times. The nanosheets absorb only a fraction of visible-light. To improve this, when we designed a nanocomposite of g-C(3)N(4)and Au nanoparticles (NPs), it retained the PL characteristics and also exhibited excellent light-harvesting and photocatalytic efficiency for benzylamine (BA) oxidation. The surface plasmon resonance of the Au NPs is responsible for the high visible-light response and assisting the reaction by the `hot-electron' injection mechanism, while an uncharacteristic, pronounced co-catalytic effect by them further improves the efficiency. The conversion is 98% with &amp;gt;99% selectivity over 1.5 h of natural sunlight and open-air, probably the highest efficiency for BA photo-oxidation reactions. Even though such a dual role by plasmonic NPs has remained unscrutinized, we argue that the charge-transfer processes for the `hot-carrier' injection and co-catalytic events are well-separated in time due to a much slower photon incident frequency on a catalyst particle, enabling both to occur simultaneously in the same particle.&lt;/p&gt;

Instead, the inexpensive CQDs can be discarded casually with the notion that they will gradually get eliminated from the environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.594</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mondal, Sanjit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sahoo, Lipipuspa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vinod, C.

Although such nanomaterials have many potential advantages, they often underperform due to poor visible light absorption and rapid recombination of excitons. Incorporation of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) on the catalyst surfaces can extend their response to visible light and improve photocatalytic efficiency by the `hot-electron' injection mechanism. Nanostructures of SnS2 too absorb a part of the visible light to induce many photocatalytic reactions, though their ability to perform the selective and controlled organic transformations has not yet been observed. Herein, we demonstrate the first example of such transformation with the oxidative coupling of various benzylamine (BA) derivatives to imines under ambient conditions using SnS2 nanosheets (NSs). The reaction rate improves manifold and shows similar to 98 % conversion (&amp;gt;99 % selectivity) in 2 h under direct sunlight and open-air when the NSs were decorated with 1.5 wt% Au NPs on (Au/SnS2), making it one of the best catalysts for this reaction. We found that the large enhancement in activity upon Au loading is accompanied by a noticeable change in photo-induced charge accumulation behaviour in Au/SnS2 from the usual ``spike and overshoot'' one and contributed by facile transfer of excited electrons across the Au-SnS2 heterojunction in which Au NPs act as both sources and sinks for the photo-excited electrons. Finally, a detailed mechanism of the oxidation reaction has been proposed.&lt;/p&gt;

	We counter two common notions that (i) photocatalysts are likely to degrade during use with barely any strategy to counter it and (ii) rhodamine-B (RhB) photo-degradation lacks any useful or commercial prospects even after 53 years of its discovery by developing a photocatalyst that continues to improve its activity for similar to 300 h due to a leaching induced `self-activation' process. Rhodamine-110 (Rh110) is a widely used pro-fluorophore in biological studies. However, its commercial production is highly challenging due to the formation of various side-products originating from the presence of the two labile amino side-groups that induce the pro-fluorophore activity, leading to purification difficulties, low yield, and unusually high costs. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy to produce pure Rh110 using extremely inexpensive RhB and Bi3TaO7-Bi4TaO8Br heterostructures as a catalyst in sunlight. The catalyst is not just stable over 30 catalytic cycles but also gets activated continuously in successive cycles to produce a reaction yield as high as 88%. The role of the heterostructure, the origin of surface activation, and the RhB -&amp;gt; Rh110 transformation mechanism have been established. Based on 150 days of sunlight experiments, large-scale production prospects (similar to 4000 times scale-up) and isolation of Rh110 have also been realized, paving a novel way for its production by anyone, inexpensive biological essaying, and device fabrication. Continuously improving catalysts are unknown and compensatory leaching of metal atoms from the catalyst surface may pave the way to realize them.&lt;/p&gt;

	The grim prospects for the industrial utilization of g-C3N4 nanosheets arise from multi-step processing resulting in low material yields and poor visible light response due to quantum confinement. Herein, we introduce a strategy for linking the adjacent layers of g-C3N4 covalently to realize a high surface area without excess mass loss in a one-step process by introducing diethylene glycol as a precursor that produces-(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-linkers in-situ. Their presence increases interlayer spacing and introduces surface curvatures, discouraging the stacking of a larger number of layers to produce nanosheets with-3 times higher surface area. Interestingly, unlike other layered materials, the linkers also provide extraordinary mechanical stability against exfoliating forces. In addition, the process instills sub-bandgap states and a considerable visible light response at 500 nm to slow down the picosecond exciton recombination dynamics, resulting in-5 times enhancement in H2 generation efficiency from photocatalytic water-splitting over the bulk sample.&lt;/p&gt;

Herein, we report a strategy to improve the efficiency of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) for the Suzuki cross-coupling reactions by visible-light irradiation using g-C3N4 nanosheets (NSs) as photosensitizer. Pd NPs mounted on g-C3N4 become electron-rich under visible-light due to generation of excited electrons in g-C3N4 and thereby accelerate the rate-determining step. Remarkable photocatalytic activity was accomplished utilizing Pd/g-C3N4 for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction in environmentally benign aqueous settings under room temperature conditions. The activity remarkably improves (similar to 2.5 times) upon light irradiation, yielding one of the highest known turnover frequencies (TOF) of 1858 h(-1) and confirming the photosensitizer role of g-C3N4. The TOF for coupling of aryl bromides is also significantly high (similar to 356 h(-1)). We establish that the low-energy/long-lived excitons preferencially transfer to Pd, paving a way for rational designing photocatalysts for various C-C coupling reactions.&lt;/p&gt;
